Jasmine tea could help protect your heart from a number of cardiovascular diseases because it is high in polyphenols. Tests conducted on animals have shown polyphenols help to protect against bad cholesterol, which is dangerous for the heart. Research also found drinking a few cups of jasmine tea daily helps reduce the risk of heart disease.

Jasmine tea has been found to help speed up your metabolism if you consume a lot of tea. Studies have found it could burn fat as much as 16 per cent. That means you could burn at least 100 calories a day. This may be because it contains caffeine and the polyphenol EGCG, which has been found to help you burn fat faster.
